Thread Content

This post was last edited by Guan Gongyu on 2015-10-8 at 21:37. True or False: Butadiene is a raw material used in the production of MTBE. Wrong: 1. MTBE is generally synthesized using methanol and isobutylene as raw materials, with the aid of acidic catalysts; among these, resin catalysts are the most commonly used in industry. 2. Butadiene and isobutylene are completely different substances; they are not the same. Butadiene (CH2=CH-CH=CH2) has two carbon-carbon double bonds, whereas isobutylene (CH2=CH(CH3)-CH3) has one carbon-carbon double bond. Correct: +3, Explanation: +5, Starting a new topic post: +20 Wealth; after posting, inform the moderator in this thread

Yes. MTBE is generally synthesized from methanol and isobutylene using an acidic catalyst, with resin catalysts being the most commonly used in industry. Different synthetic routes have been developed due to the various sources of isobutylene.

The incorrect MTBE raw material is liquefied gas rich in isobutylene (mainly from the gas separation unit); butadiene is a raw material used in the production of synthetic rubber, synthetic resins, nylon, and other materials. The main production methods are the dehydration of butane and butene, or extraction from the C4 fraction

Butadiene is a raw material for producing MTBE. The error: MTBE is generally synthesized from methanol and isobutylene using an acidic catalyst

Butadiene is a raw material for producing MTBE. (Incorrect) MTBE is synthesized using a mixed C4 fraction containing isobutylene and methanol as raw materials, through the action of large-pore strongly acidic cation exchange resins.
